we really need an idea section, far too many people come up with ideas that last 1 or 2 days before they go find another ...

[Stealthsnake]

well actually this is my first 1 apart from my current mod, which i loved the film

[ched]

not to get you to give up or anything, but many people have come to these forums with hopes of doing a TC based on a movie they had recently seen, and they all failed, due to the difficulty of getting a team up.

[Stealthsnake]

yes i see your point, but im not going to stop trying unless i don get anyone intrested in helping. So if there is anyone intrested in starting a project on this please say here.

[Fingulfin]

Thats why if my little TC idea becomes a mod, I wont announce it till Im at least 1/4 of the way done. You can only start a mod if you are a modeler and skinner (or have a friend who likes your Idea and is a skinner and or Modeler).

[Stealthsnake]

that is my problem, which is why im gonna post around and see if there is any intrest, i unfortnately have no modler friends or skinners in the real worls, (i live 2 lives )

[Chachalon]

He, I got the same problem... but the idea sounds interesting. But I can hardly model (if it does not involve living things or animations, I might be able to creathe those models... or at least I could try to) or skin :(

[Nazzie]

what about valandil

[-V4V3ND3TTA-]

Might be a big project and unlikely to suceed but I wish you luck with it anyway.

[Feanor]

we would need a animator with powers like a god .....but I love the idea (I liked the film as well) I could do the modeling and skinning.....but animations impossible for me anyway.....and I'm not going to try anytime soon lol......mabye theres some unknown animator around or mabye theres someone around mev....I don't know

[Stealthsnake]

i did not think ud be intrested valandil

Couldnt we use animations from gernerals? (for some)

[Feanor]

yes......yes we could good idea
But I don't have generals lol

[Stealthsnake]

i do, i can send u some stuff

but the problem is for things like cannons on ships and cannons.

Added: just thought, they wont be too bad, because tanks dont have scelotons so couldnt a connon just move and not neqad a skeloton? the only thing is there owuld be no crew for it.

[Feanor]

Isengard balista team......use the crew anims and bind the cannon to the root bone....it would not loook good but it would work

[Stealthsnake]

great, well this mod can happen then

[Feanor]

we are pleased to announce that we now have our forums up and running .....

pirates of the caribbean modding forums

[Theo]

ill keep tabs on this but tom, i think it will require hard coding not like just bfme. unless like you said and you copy all from generals

[Feanor]

why not we were going to use generals anims.....

[sauron]
